I left the real world behind me, for just a few days it was just me, the open blue seas and my book moistened by the sugar and lime drinks my butler dropped off now and again

Nabeel has an obsession for finding off the beaten track experiences and the most beautiful secluded retreats. Here’s his guide for your halal friendly Maldivian journey.

Why the Maldives?

Well, it’s probably the most beautiful place on Earth. That’s a good enough reason.

Best Halal Eat

The Angsana Ihuru has one of the best chefs I’ve ever come across. Not only is he extremely particular to detail, his blend of flavours to cook a beef tenderloin to perfection will stay in my memory for a long, long time.

Best way to see the Maldives

The best way to see the Maldives is to get your feet wet, and everything else in fact. Going to the Maldives and not looking down, is like going to Hagia Sophia and not looking up. It’s a magnificent testimony to the grace of Allah’s creations, especially when you come across a shark or two.

What to take

You’re on a tropical island, with a completely private villa, take whatever you’re comfortable in, but would avoid anything wooly as you’re not too far from the equator. Modesty in the sea is quite welcomed in the Maldives, and even non-Muslims tend to cover up due to the intensity of the sun.

What is the weather like?

The Maldives has two seasons, the drier season from November to April and the wetter season from May to October. If you can’t stretch the pennies to high season rates (basically the dry season), take a punt on the wetter season where often it can rain in the morning, dry up for several hours and rain overnight (quite spectacularly too). I’ve been in the middle of July and only had two hours rain in five days!

Are there any special events I must see?

Eid-ul-Adha (or Eid-ul-Fitr) in the Maldives is a warm and unique experience. We can organise for you to spend the day with a local family, see their way of life and sample some of their lovely home-cooked food.

Favourite resort

I really can’t say one resort is better than the other as they all have their own personalities. Sorry, I’m on the fence here.

Favourite place to pray

The Jame Masjid in Male is great place to meet local Maldivians who on the face of it live on paradise on earth. The local way of life, how they are so dependent on tourism is exemplified in the capital, and after Jummah is nice to have a chat with the friendly locals eager to welcome unfamiliar faces.
